Meta tags are descriptive information hidden within the head tags <head></head> on every webpage. Even though it is never displayed on a web browser, it is seen by the Search Engine bots when they visit your website, therefore it's an excellent way to gain some points in your SEO algorithm.

Within the Admin Panel there is a place to input the keywords and a meta description. Make sure you use these important inputs via the Admin Panel and put some thought into what you say in the description, but keep it to about 30 words, more will NOT be displayed in your search results.

Notice they contain a value called meta property. This will NOT validate if you insist on using a validator (mostly it's a customer request) If yo must validate your cart, then you can't use those tags as meta property is NOT valid HTML5 at this point.

I have experimented with these on identical websites and proven that they do help with rankings.

Remember, with Google content is king! They rank fresh content - given all else is equal with your website and the competition.

You are correct, and I understand the image I am looking for is in resources. However, that image, as per the example, will always be the same (logo of your company, for example). What I want to achieve here is to add the individual product image (eg: wholesaleostomysuppliescom/resources/image/18/90/8.jpg).I believe I will dig deeper to get to the complicated DB, if not, I will open a pop up window and javascript everything. I thought I could name the pictures with the product name, but I don't believe that would work since the 'name' of the resource is NOT the name of the picture uploaded :-(

Just wanted to mention that I found through my post that there is a free extension for share this, which adds the meta og:image, etc. tags to the head. Thanks to user, llegrand. Hope this helps someone.
